Yes, water is one of the exceptions to the rule that a solid shrinks when it solidifies. Water expands. If you freeze water in glass eg beer bottles, the bottle will shatter as the liquid freezes. Water pipes can burst, metal water bottles will split if frozen full of water. The water takes in air as it freezes, thus ice floats in your glass rather than sinking.

∙ 12y agoA solid's internal structure is fairly rigid, and the atoms are tightly bond. Solids do not expand greatly.
Atoms in a material of liquid state have lost some of their bonds, so the atoms move more freely. More energy is contained within liquids, so the atoms expand more. Liquids can moderately expand.
Gasses have almost no interior atom bonds, and contain the most energy. Gasses expand the most.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. That's why they expand more than solids when heated.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoIt depends upon the temperature of the heat. In some cases it can.

Why do liquids have lower density than solid?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
Is true about density and states of matter for most substances?
The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.
What is true about density and states of matter for most substances?
The density of solid state of matter is higher than the density of liquids and the density of liquids is higher than the density of gases.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
Does liquids have a higher density than solids?
no
Why do liquids have lower density than solid?
Not all liquids have lower densities than all solids. Low density solids frequently contain air or other gasses as part of their makeup (cok, Styrofoam, etc)
Is the density of gas lower or higher than solids and liquids?
No, the density of gas is lower because the the force of attraction is minimum at gaseous state.

Are solids better conductors than liquids and gases?
particle density
What are some characteristics of liqiuds?
Liquids have definite volume but no definite shape, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. They have higher density compared to gases but lower density than solids. Liquids are not easily compressed and exhibit surface tension.
What is the conclusion of the density as it applies to liquid and solid?
that the density of an object determines on an objects size not mass. you can calculate density bye dividing the objects mass by it's volume.
Do liquids have high or low density?
Denser than gases but (most often) less dense than solids.
Does sound travel faster in liquids and solids than air?
Yes it does, due to molecular density.
Liquids usually have higher volume coefficients of expansion than solids do?
that is TRUE
